Bar Contessa - Balmain
Bar Contessa
Description
Contessa, a charming cafe in Balmain, offers a delightful dining experience with a range of delicious dishes and excellent service. The Italian meatballs and eggs were seasoned well and juicy, although some felt there could be more pesto. The breakfast options are tasty and generous in portion size, with good coffee to accompany your meal. The specials menu offers divine salads like the Chicken Pesto and Haloumi. Although service can be a bit slow during peak times, the staff's friendliness and the quality of the food make it worth the wait. The menu, which fuses Italian and Australian influences, is crafted with care, featuring dishes like the Contessa corn cake and risotto. Contessa also prides itself on serving top-notch coffee from the Grounds of Alexandria. While it can be challenging to find a table during peak brunch hours, the warm ambiance and quality offerings at Contessa make it a popular spot in the area.

Tasty brekkie and big portion. Coffee is good too. Staffs are friendly and quick service. It is a bit pricy considering it is in Balmain, the price is reasonable in this area cuz of the taste.
Good luck finding a table here for brunch on Saturday or Sunday! There’s a reason why Contessa is so popular though, the staff are beyond friendly and the Grounds of Alexandria coffee is the best in the area! I only wish that the hollandaise on my eggs Benedict was homemade but if you’re not as fussy as I am about things like that, then you have to enjoy this gorgeous space in Balmain!
The food and drink was very nice. I ordered Contessa corn cake and seasonal fruit frappe. The corn cake was nicely cooked, with a mixture of sauce and flavour. I especially liked the hickory style bacon (I am a bacon lover :P The drink was fantastic. Nice and fresh :
Beautiful presentation and great value for money for the tuna salad. Chai latte and banana smoothie were delicious too.
